Question

E by 1

3. Mr. Bauer placed the letters in the word
BASKETBALL into a bag. What is the
probability of choosing the letter B, not
replacing it, and then choosing a vowel?

Answer 1

Answer: The word "BASKETBALL" has 2 B's and 3 vowels (A, E, A). The probability of choosing the letter B, not replacing it, and then choosing a vowel is:

(2/10) * (2/9) * (3/8) = 6/90 = 1/15

So, the probability of choosing the letter B, not replacing it, and then choosing a vowel is 1/15.
